The Talent Advantage: Building the Workforce Your Business Needs
Devan Nair Institute for Employment and Employability, Singapore 609607
Session 1: The Talent Calculus: How Smart Organisations Are Making Build-Buy-Borrow Workforce Decisions (9:30am - 10:15am)
In today’s talent landscape, the most consequential decisions a leader makes are not only about performance, they are about workforce composition. Getting talent strategy wrong is costly; getting it right creates a competitive advantage.
This session cuts through the complexity of workforce planning to explore how organisations can make smarter, faster, and more defensible decisions on when to build capability from within, acquire it externally, or access it on demand.
What you will learn:
Participants will gain a practical framework for approaching workforce decisions with greater precision and confidence, moving away from gut instinct towards evidence‑based talent strategy. The session will cover:
- How to identify talent hotspots and capability gaps before they become business risks
- The key factors that should drive a Build, Buy, or Borrow decision, and the financial implications of each
- How intelligent platforms enable organisations to forecast workforce demand and act proactively
Who will benefit:
This session is designed for senior leaders and HR practitioners who are responsible for organisational performance, workforce strategy, and talent investment, particularly those navigating growth, transformation, or increasing pressure to maximise the potential of the talent they already have.
Session 2: The Informed Leader: Real-Time People Intelligence with DIA for Faster, Better Decisions (10:45am - 12:00pm)
Most leaders today are working with people data that is delayed, fragmented, or buried in dashboards they rarely have the time to examine. DIA, entomo's Data Integration Assistant, reimagines how leadership intelligence is delivered by surfacing contextual, real-time insights precisely when and where leaders need them most.
This session explores what it truly means to lead with intelligence, and what becomes possible when your people data works as hard as you do.
What you will learn:
Participants will gain a clear understanding of how always-on people intelligence transforms the quality and speed of leadership decisions. The session will explore:
- Why traditional reporting and BI dashboards fall short for busy leaders, and what the alternative looks like
- How DIA synthesises workforce data into contextual, actionable insights without requiring leaders to search for information
- What this means in practice for decisions related to talent, performance, and organisational health
Who will benefit:
This session is most valuable for senior leaders and decision makers who rely on people and performance data to drive business outcomes, and who want to shift from reactive reporting to proactive, intelligent leadership.
